    But....AKs are fucking great.

    Unless you mean people buy them expecting a MOA tack driver instead of something that shoots minute of man.

    The Tacoma is a great truck. Most of the American full size are junk. I’m talking the big 3 . We have a fleet of them at my job and they are in the shop all the time .
    Me Fan boy or not / I will stick with Toyota . I never got burned , so that’s good enough for me .
    I love that it’s out dated by the way! Slow ? It’s totally fine .People are spoiled now
    Slow was a ford pinto or a Chevy Chevette back in the day . That was slow.
    Or better yet a Pontiac Trans am with a 400 cubic inch v8 that had 160 horsepower
    That was slow

    In 2018, I needed a pickup for light and small stuff, like a engine, a transmission, a deer or a garbage run. (We have to deliver garbage to a township bldg where I live.) My daily commute to work then was almost 90 miles round trip, my hunting spot was on a remote state path needing a 4x4 and my kids were all grown. Thus a smaller 4x4 pickup with a long life was called for. The Tacoma fit the need. It is not perfect… noise while driving…but fit my needs. If the vehicle fits the needs..it is good.

    I think what people expect the Tacoma to do is handle like a Formula 1, tow like a full size diesel, haul cargo like a one ton dually, go stop light to stop light like a challenger demon, and get fuel economy like a Mitsubishi Mirage getting 36/43.

    Slow little truck?? I thought it had decent power after first getting it, had it tuned and it's got GREAT power now, I'm more than happy to have joined the Taco family. Mine is simply used as a driver. I need to tow heavy stuff, I break out the RAM.

    The other thing that stands out from the competition is the reliability. Just a guess, but I think more people buy for the reliability than to off-road.

    Yes, Toyota has a great reputation for reliability. I'm assuming that's why they haven't thrown blowers on tiny engines In almost every vehicle (like ford does) .
